Players have solved all of the riddles! But to show the people where the treasures were hidden. I’ll decipher the hidden meanings of the riddles below…
1. Warp to the place where the house shines its light.
At the island where the Reaper shows his might.
Up the ladder to the very top floor.
Find the hole that Reaper tore.
This first riddle referenced a lighthouse on Iamthereaper89’s island at /warp shop. The chest was hidden on the top floor in a little niche that Reaper literally tore.
2. Find the old City where the Queen once stood.
Enter the moat, really you should.
Find the chest and then the boat
Leave the hole somewhere in the moat.
The old city where the Queen once stood was /warp city where QueenRept once ruled the Elven Empire. The key was in a chest in the first ring of water after bouncing out of spawn. There was a little hole that had a chest in it in the inner ring of water.
3. Across the sky to where the old Jay once flew.
Find the aqueduct that still stands true.
Into the house that the Reaper could boast.
Search in anything that can be used to roast.
The words “sky” and “Jay” refer to skymanjay and his shop at /warp skyshop… There was a little wooden waterway near one of Reaper’s houses. Inside the house the key was hidden in a furnace since a furnace roasts things.
4. Follow the British to where there is still Hope.
Enter the building that could house the Pope.
Find the crypt where the king does lay
Follow the tunnels, all the way.
British and Hope refers to the British Port Hope. The place that could house the Pope was the Port Hope church that has a hidden crypt leading to traps but also pressure plates that reveal hidden chests. One of which contained the key.
5. The docks! The chests! The ship with no name!
The one that soon will rise to fame!
Search aboard the ship with sails the color of the storm.
Give in to the Tempest, and lose your form.
This one was a little tricky… The docks and the ship with no name refers to one of the unnamed ships at /warp ships . “Rise to fame” you guys decipher :). The boat had gray colored sails hence the “color of the storm”. The last sentence… HHMMMMMM I really don’t know about that… 😉
6. Find the cannons near the marker.
Near the cannon that could be darker.
In the chest by the cannon from the Typhoon.
Pray to GodsDead that the prize wasn’t taken by a buffoon.
The cannons near the market means the livemap marker noting the spot of /warp cannons. The cannon that could be darker is a rusty carronade (what colors are those again?) that is not as dark as regular carronade cannons. One of the Rusty Carronades had a chest next to it where players found a key. “The cannon from the Typhoon”…. not sure how to explain that one…. “Pray to GodsDead that the prize wasn’t taken by a buffoon” was just a filler line but was my hope that some random deckhand doesn’t find the key and not know what to do with it.
7. To the market owned by saraphim
Take a stroll, along the rim
Enter an alley and find a chest.
A nice prize, but not the best.
Market owned by saraphim = /warp market. An alley that can be entered from the rim of the platform hid a chest with a prize in it.
8. Finish at the central and most important place.
Where the Lady of Cove lost her case.
Head over to the gift that continues to stand.
Use the bow, forget the hand.
A definition of the word “nexus”= the central and most important point or place… so /warp nexus… The Lady of Cove is a name for Azuries since she owned Covetown. She lost her case with her admins but received a very nice statue of a chicken that continues to stand to this day. @Athenmos12 got the Grand prize from this riddle. He shot a bow at a button on the chicken’s butt and it pooped out the 8th and grandest key.
